Sadly these courses are restricted to institutional users, so those of us that are inclined to get in there and play are left to our own devices. A good 2 day armorers course (again, I would gladly pay for this type of course) would really add value and create brand loyalty.
    I'm working on it. Just need a cheap flight to Vienna.

    Also getting some 'dummy guns' to holster makers would be a good idea. One of the reasons Glock is so popular is that 'stuff' (holsters mag pouches etc,) are everywhere.

    The mags being shipped today have a heavier spring than the early imports. They will hold 10 rounds, but that last round does take some effort when the mags are new.

    As for your observations about the trigger, well let's just say opinions vary.
    Well, I bought the gun a month ago, I would think it is a recent mag as well. I guess I just don't have enough muscle to put the 10th round in into a couple of them. The rest of the mags, and all of the rest of my guns seem fine.

    About the trigger: sure, opinions vary. I really like my trigger on my CZ Czeckmate. On my P210. The CZ Shadow Canadian is decent. The X-Calibur could have been decent (it does have many of the attributes of a good trigger), but probably will need some gunsmith work to polish and tune it.

    I forgot one more thing - it often fails to cycle with the 115 grain. This does not happen with the 5 other guns I use.

    Again, I don't want to make an impression that it is a bad gun. It is decent, interesting design and it has a potential. But out of the box it leaves to be desired. At least mine does.

    They need to brush up their safety, some of those chancers working with air tools and no safety glasses on.

    It hurts me to see a Hermle machine hidden in the corner of a photo. That kind of a machine is like a Ferrari!
